Applying Service-Learning in Photography Course for Community Support Projects

EasyChair Preprint 15101

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Service-Learning into the Photography course for fourth-year Graphic Design students at Danang Architecture University. As enrollment in Graphic Design increases, there is a pressing need to enhance practical skills and social communication among students. The course combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, allowing students to engage directly with children at Hope Village, a community with limited access to artistic resources. The Service-Learning model fosters empathy and civic engagement, encouraging students to address community needs through creative expression. This approach enriches the student’s educational experience and empowers children by helping them visualize their dreams through photography.

Keyphrases: children, community partners, graphic design, photography, portraits community support
